Hello,
My 9-year old son was dx Type 1 last Sunday. We caught it before a DKA, which we're very grateful for. He is also autistic and has very restrictive eating patterns. He eats less than ten foods, although he has a good appetite. He has been an utter star adapting to the injections which is quite a feat as he has Sensory issues as well.
I was wondering whether there are any other parents with kids with an autism/diabetes dx? Or adults who have both dx's?
